I saw the original series first, and I didn't see any of the new series when I was a kid. But I got into the TP thanks to Big Finish audios - if they hadn't advertised their TP series in trailers on DW discs, I never would have heard of it :o) Now I have all the DVDs of both series and I've heard three series of the audios. I hear there's an audio with my name somewhere in the fourth or fifth series, so I really want to hear that :o)
I prefer the OS too - I don't know why, but I really enjoy stuff from the 70s :o) The NS is pretty cool too, but it seems more kid-oriented and the bad guys are more annoying and one-dimensional.
Thanks for your comments! It makes me very happy that you enjoyed the fics :o) It was quite easy to write John, because I can hear all the OS characters so clearly in my head, so it's easy to imagine what they might say and how they'd say it. It'd be more difficult to write John any other way! :o)
Kath was tricky to come up with, because I'm always wary about creating OCs who are the focus of a story. I had to make her the kind of person who'd do well with the TPs, but without being overly great, and also without too many flaws. Did I manage to do that, d'you think? :o) Elena and Paul are quite cool. I didn't manage to get much of Paul in the story, but he's there where I could manage to squeeze him in. He wasn't integral to the plot, but I think I got his voice down okay in the scene he featured in. In the audios, Paul's rather cheeky and Elena gets quite tired of him, but she's ultimately a very sympathetic person. And yep, it is quite a strange name :o) It's kinda some weird cross between Helena and Eleanor. I thought it was Helena for a while, before I read the back of a CD cover.
In your profile you claim to out-quote most people, can you out-do her? Uhh... probably. We've never had any kind of quote-off, but I could probably show her up :oD Give me any quote from Red Dwarf or Friends and I'll tell you the episode, who said it or what was said next. I can quote whole episodes of some things, including Doctor Who audios. I usually don't like to brag, but it is one of my best talents :o)
Oh, something I meant to mention, but wasn't sure if I should... There's a Tomorrow People event in September, called Hyperspace 2008 (http://www.thetomorrowpeoplearchive.com/hyperspace2008/index.html). It's in Teddington, so hardly any distance for you. The reason I wasn't sure if I should say anything or not is that the ticket costs £135, and I didn't want to taunt you with it if you weren't able to go. But I figured you might have a job, or an upcoming birthday, or just generous parents :o) It'd be brilliant if you could go, cos they're struggling to get enough people booked so the event can go ahead. I figured it'd be better to tell you so you could maybe go, than to leave you in the dark. What d'you think - would you be able to manage the ticket price? It'd be an awesome weekend :o)
